Competitive pressures and evolving customer demands have made it essential for organisations to continually seek better ways to succeed in business.  Organisations need to improve their efficiency and competitiveness and often rely upon technology as an enabler for the changes needed – this is often termed digital transformation.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about the acceleration of digital transformation for organisations. We have seen digital transformation executed in weeks instead of months in order for organisation to stay competitive and relevant during this period. In order to support the accelerated speed of digital transformation, organisations need to be able to learn and adapt rapidly, execute faster, make better use of data and embrace changes. This requirement for agility needs to be not just at the team level but extended to the organisational level. It become more apparently on the need to know what agile is really about in order for organisations to use agility effectively to survive and grow in the new future.
